Background

Prelude No. 3 is a "grand, toccata-like work" with free material that "alternates with a polyphonic texture in which a subject and recurring countersubject are treated throughout."[1]

The fugue was originally written in 1833 and revised for Op. 37. The structure of it is similar to the other two fugues.[2]
